THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- enlation of the other Washington dailies. Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. c7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpove. Welcome, Reception and Care. By ylelding to the earnest wishes of the regiment on the subject of the time and character of {ts reception and by thus reducing to a minimum formalities attend- ant upun the reception of the District vol- unteers next Friday the citizens become the more free to devote their energies to those substantial features of the welcome which are calculated to redound to the practical benefit of the soldier boys. The committse work now in progress is satis- factorily advancing along this line, and the suggestions which are being given to the community by the various chairmen are eminently commendable. Co-operative effcrts between the citizens and those for- rally in charge of the details will greatly advance the prospects of suca a successful affair as the oceasion demands. Tne com- mittee on comfort, for instance, asks that all householders who have rooms to spare, especially those In the suburban sections, noufy the chairman of their willingness to take under their roofs such of the volun- teers as may, upon their return, have no homes wherein they may be nursed and fed and comforted. This arrangement will greatly economize the funds which are be- ing gathered and will ensure to those sol- dier fortunate enough to be thus taken into the homes of charitable people, kindly treatment and heartening attentions during the pericd of convalescence. It is to be hoped that this appeal will meet with a generous response, for whether there are many or few of such cases the city must be prepared to accommodate them. The committee on carriages likewise is- stes an invitation to all the owners of ve- hicles which they will not require on the morning of the ninth to place them at the disposal of the committee for the trans- pertation of the sick and debilitated sol- diers who will be unable to march in the shcrt parade or of those who, after the breaking of ranks at the White House, will be too weak to reach their homes un- aided. Many men will be found whose homes are at a distance and not in close reach by car lines. They should be ten- deriy escorted by the welcoming citizens to thelr destinations, and this work can best be done and, of course, most cheaply, by the use of private vehicles, which are certainly numerous enough in Washington to ensure an ample supply next Friday. By such attentions and little sacrifices as these the people of Washington can give to their welcome of the troops a character suited to the needs and the spirit of the day. The frst thought should be and doubtless will be for the men themselves, the men who have exposed their lives in their country’s cause, who have suffered from disease, from privations, from the hardships incidental to duty in the trenches in the face of the enemy, who have endured all manner of mental and physical distress during the past four months. The wel- come began the moment the first detach- mert from Santiago reached Montauk Point and will continue until the last item of suffering from the experiences of the campaign has been relieved. Friday will of course be the day of open rejoicing and greeting and will call forth the loudest demonstrations. But it will not measure the demands upon the people, upon their purses, their kindliness, their sympathies, their hospitality. By a thousand ways the citizens can do zocd on that day and on the days to come when the individual members of the regi- ment need help and comfort. The Star has printed a list, as complete as possible, of the men who are returning without assur- of employment, who gave up remun- erative pesitions and abandoned trades to enlist. Care is to be taken that these men jo not suffer because of their enforced idle- ness or from thelr inability through weak- or disease to resume their occupations. ionary work will begin, therefore, t he regiment ha hundreds of volunte staking dili- ised that they do not and the are to hunted up, re- to understand the true meaning ¢ atitude and pride and ity bs These endeavors will in no wise interfer ith formalities of the display next ing.

I roves to be a letter writ- ten by m to an old friend complimenting him on his announced intention of stand- ng for ress, and, naturally enough, wishing him success. It is a well-expressed | produ and contains some eminently opinion. Mr. Batley tells his friend only a man of capacity, industry and racter may hope to make his way in Congress, and recognizing in him the pos- sessor of those qualities he speeds him on his way. While this has always been mzasurably true, it was never so distinctly true as at the present time. The halls of Congress are no longer mere parade grounds for orators, or losfing places for wits. ‘The business of Congress is now thoroughlp systematical. It is enormous, and much of it highly important. Much of it lkewise is utterly prosaic, and does not lend itself dispiey. As a result, time is a matter of prime consideration. A man must not only be capable, but very industrious to prove bimself equal to the =xactions of the piace. The orator is, of course, not shut out, nor is the wit unwelcome, but the man who masters the rules, who keeps up with bis committee work and his. attend- ance on s:ssions, and hustles all round, 1s the one who serves his constituents beat and makes the most useful impression on his legislative associates. Real success, in- deed, is not obtainable by any other msans. Much of the credit of this new arder of things is due to the present Speaker of the House. He holds that Congress is intended to be purely a business body, and that the procedure should all be fashioned with the seuni view sof securing business results. The rules he has promulgated for the House, and which are likely long to survive, bear the impress of his ideas and are very ef- fective in carrying them out. Mr. Reed is an admirable talker himself, but while leading his party on the floor of the House ccnsumed less time with set speech2s than many members practically unknown out- side of their own districts. His whole ca- reer as a member of the House, indeed, has besn marked by the very trinity of quali- ties which Mr. Bailey declares to be es- sential to congressional success. It is but fair to say also that Mr. Bailey's own career in the House has authorized him to stand for the sentiment he utters. He has shown capacity, and industry, and ter. The Star differs from Mr. Bailey on some important public questions, but it recognizes in him a man of force and usefulness. He could not, indeed, hav? made his way so rapidly to the front un- less he had possessed strong qualities. He speaks well if he does not always lead well; h> has untiring industry, and he has on more than one occasion exhibited a full share of sand and character. Mr. Bailey's measure of the congressional re- quirement is correct, and deserves wid> circulation and commendation. ———seo—__—_. No Foreign Entanglements. ‘The czar’s pronunciamento is not carry- ing the same interpretation now that it did the day it was issued. It was at first construed as a proposition to the powers to disarm and thus put an end to the enor- mous outlays necessary to the support of great military establishments. A later reading gives it a different meaning. Dis- armament is not proposed at all. The czar, it is now held, merely suggests that the powers, Russia included, have burdened themselves with fighting machines far be- yond the needs of the times, and that it would be wise for them to meet around a council board and discuss in a friendly spirit the question of future military and naval expenditures. Why go on adding to outfits already too large, and invite disas- ter on economic lines as the result of such recklessness? This is a horse of a very different color. The powers, with the exception of France, are reported as disposed to accept the proposition. The topic is one of interest, and discussion of it can do no harm. Much useful Information may be gathered. The czar will be expected to develop the topic, and all parties in interest may profit In some way by a thorough discussion of just how heavy the burden of militarism is. France holds off, being surprised by the proposal, and stunned by the develop- ments in the Dreyfus case. But even France, in the end, may accept. But whatever interpretation the pronun- clamento may bear, or however sincere and pacific the czar’s Intentions may be, the United States is not to be expected to shape its future course by the European chart. Our fighting machine, far from be- ing too large and a burden, is too small. ‘The country has just made that discovery; and Congress at the last session took steps to increase the size both of the army and the navy. The United States is enlarging its boundaries, and has prospects of a greatly augmented foreign trade. It will be a competitor for trade in the new fields now opening up, and must of course be prepared to maintain itself there as against the sharpest rivalries. So that the new ships contracted for and the new men to be enlisted for the regular army will all be needed to meet the country’s new pelicy. The policy of no foreign entanglements. appears to be just as suitable for applica- tion by the United States to the matter of partial disarmament as to any other mat- ter. Another Mysterious Poisoning Case. There has been more “murder by mail.” The warnings of the Delaware case do not seem to have been sufficiently taken to heart to prevent repetitions, although that affair was widely exploited and is presum- ably familiar in at least its main features to every reader of newspapers in the large cities. Nevertheless, right in the heart of New York, where the newspapers devoted pages of print and pictures to the mys- terious box of candy sent from San Fran- cisco to Delaware, two women and a man have just been poiscred by means of liquor sent through the mails, and one of the women is likely to die in consequence. Several bottles of liquor were sent, on dif- ferent days, but the members of the family thus marked for destruction did not par- take until after three had thus been re- ceived, from an unknown and unsuspected The wrappers surrounding them were unfortunitely destroyed as they were ed and thus possible evidence of the tor of the murderous deed has it. According to some accounts the man to whom the bottles were sent took those earliest received to a druggist, who “tasted the Hquor and pronounced it good whisky.” This allayed his suspicions and when the third bottle came, containing what purported to be a Hungarian wine, he and his wife and sister-in-law partook, with immediately disastrous results. The method of the unknown sender of the poison appears thus to have been shrewdly devised to ensure success. The case as it stands affords little hope that the perpe- trator oi the outrage can be detected and punished, but the tragedy ought to serve as a sufficient warning to all people to leave untouched any articles of food or drink which are recetved from unidentified sources through the mails. The temptation to enjoy the sweets or the drinks thus fall- ing from a mysterious somewhere is a temptation to run the gauntlet of life and death. The only safe course is to destroy all such anonymous gifts, to have them analyzed or to turn them promptly over to the polic +e It is stili rather early to use the war as a basis for general political predictions. Its more serious aspects are still too fresh in the minds of the public to make the thought of its being used as partisan cap- ital other than obnoxious. nd The rough riders are likely to deal promptly and vigorously with thoughtless New Yorkers who try to make merry at their expense. Mr. Platt and Mr. Croker should bear this in mind. ——_—_~+ «2 —______ If during his stay Cervera secured any new ideas about the proper government of the people, he is quite welcome to apply them in Spain. —_—__ + +e —___ The colored troops have done a great deal to remove any lingering suspicions that the fifteenth amendment needed further vin- ication. ——___+ ee _____ William's New Mood Toward England Times have changed since Emperor Wil- liam sent his famous dispatch of congratu- lation to Presideat Kruger after the re- pulse of the Jameson raid and the preserva- tion of the South African republic. The war lord is seeing things in a new light Witness the fact that the first European telegram of congratulation to arrive at Sir Herbert Kitchener’s headquarters after the news of the great victory at Omdurman bad been spread abroad was from Emperor William. Witness also the fact tat at a celebration at Hanover Sunday in com- memoration of the Hanoverlans who fell at Waterloo Emperor William lauded the British soldiery, recalled the magnificent werk of the English troops at Waterloo, spoke feelingly of the fresh news from the Sudan and then called for three cheers for his august grandmother, Queen Vic- toria. Nor are these signs of a newly awakened pro-British sentiment im the breast of the erratic young emperor at- tributable to his emotional and unaccount- able temperament. He has new irons in the fire. He sees Britain in a new light. His grandmother, instead of being to him an unprogressive, troublesome woman who handicaps his martial ambitions, is in a position to advance his interests. The Rus- sian bear has begun to show his claws. The recent acquisitions in China by Ger- many have been overshadowed and men- aced by the greater strides of the czar southward from the trans-Siberian railroad, France is becoming troublesome. England offers a tempting bargain, Syria for moral support in Egypt and at Delagoa bay. The war-lord is a man of discernment, what- ever may be his faults of disposition, and he sees the light ahead. The. time has come for making friends, and friends, too, with large equipments for waging war. The time, therefore, has come for sending congratulatory messages suited to the spirit of the new bonds of friendship which are being forged in the diplomatic bureaus at London and Berlin. And in acts of po- Hiteness as in acts of harshness and in- civility William is an adept. ++ = —____ Cleaning Cuba. There was a parade of the “street clean- ing department” in Santiago de Cuba the other day and it evoked great interest among the inhabitants, who have not hitherto been accustomed to such anom- alies as organizations designed to scrape away the dirt from the thoroughfares. This is one of the first signs of the good times about to dawn for Cuba. The sword blazed out the path for the broom and the shovel. In the country districts it will be succeeded by the pick and the hoe. The cities need immediate attention. Gen. Law- ton is making admirable progress at San- tiago in his efforts to evolve living condi- tions out of the desperately foul surround- ings, and it is not too much to expect that eventuaily his good work will be repeated in the other large communities throughout the island. American enterprise will work results under the severest handicaps. —_—__+ + = When General Pardo has something ir- relevant and undiplematic in his mind he dces rot even go to the trouble of putting it into a letter, but says it direct. —____ + ++ —___ The German emperor will doubtless feel some depression over the fact that he failed to get any noteworthy speeches into print during the recent war. see It might be well for every militia com- pany to get some capable hotel proprietor to give instructions in running a commis- sary department. oe There is a reviving confidence that An- dree will be back in time for the 1898-'99 lecture season.

From City and § The six weeks and over of continuous heat, which the people of Philadelphia and of the country generally have been suffer- ing the present season, have made the sum- mer of 1898 an unusually trying one. When one thinks, however, of our noble soldiers in the hospitals, officers and men, particu- uarly the latter—many of them frum Cuban battlefields with painful wounds, stricken with exhausting disease, weak from linger- ing fevers, and often, in addition to all that, to our unutterable shame as a nation, without suitable food for a sick palate, for a digestion all gone and a wasted frame, without water in some cases, without medi cine in others, without proper shelter or adequate care—when one thinks of all this and what it means to thousands of these homeless, helpless ones, sweltering in the torrid heat, one is at once stricken dumb as to any thought even of complaint on one’s own account. What is mere summer weather, day and night, 90 degrees in the shade, with 90 per cent humidity, to us in at least passable homes on open streets, with room to turn, to change one’s place, with friends about us and kith and kin near us? It is the moisture that has so excessively loaded the atmosphere that has made the season so depressing. These have been dreadful weeks to the sick, espe- cially to those on the field and in the hos- pitals. The most vigorous have suffered enervation, and the less robust have felt a clear call to watch every inward symptom and outward sign of danger to safeguard their health. Happily in this much better Gays for all are now near at hand. ———_ e+ ____ Abdul and William, From the Providence Journal.
